MNS ~ Thank you may I have another

by chellemills on April 26, 2013

Well, today I should be starting the Lean in 13 but due to the fact that I’m waiting for “Muscle Gain” to arrive I’ve decided to just start back on the MNS and Thermoplus. I WILL NOT allow myself to get way off-track these few “lull” days! (It’s too hard to get back on)

My results for this cleanse were not big in numbers (which I wasn’t expecting much, just hoping haha) but I feel awesome! Loss of 3.2 lbs, 4 1/8″ and I gained 1/4″ muscle I’LL TAKE IT! W/ the Lean in 13 I’m going to lose body fat, need to drop my still high percentage~

**I’ve always taken the MNS3 but due to the lack of carbs on the Lean in 13, I will be replacing it w/ the MNSE hoping to gain the energy I’ll need to “stay strong”. Looks as tho the big white truck will be arriving Saturday which means WE’LL START MONDAY (Monday ALWAYS used to be my cheat day “go wild & crazy day” so I don’t know WHY I’ve been starting everything on Mondays)

If you want to slim down, one of first things you should do is reduce your intake of starchy carbs. Avoid white breads and white rice, potatoes, fried foods and processed foods. Aim for more healthy fats like avocados and nuts in small quantities, and increase your intake of fruits and veggies. Squeeze fresh lemons into your water, too. Often overlooked in weight loss, stress can keep you stuck at a certain weight or cause you to gain. If you’re stressed to the max, your body produces a hormone called cortisol, and if not controlled, your body can increase its fat storage. Plus, how often have you turned to a favorite food or snacked endlessly when you’re stressed out? Get ahead of your stress and you can watch the numbers go down on the scale. Take a walk, get some fresh air, meditate, do something fun, read a book, laugh, call up a friend or seek some alone time. Find ways to reduce your stress and commit to doing a few of those things each week. Managing your stress effectively is an essential component of weight loss! AMEN~ 🙂

WHY YOU NEED A WORKOUT BUDDY: 1. Find your twin. “What you should look for is basically someone who’s as similar to you in every way possible, except for a little bit better than you in the area you want to get better at,”. If that sounds suspiciously like your fitter friend with more energy than you, it is. Just be careful not to choose someone too far beyond your fitness level, because your goals won’t be realistic. 2. Give her a lift. In your quest to be the best, it’s good to force your friend’s healthy habits on yourself. When you go to the gym, offer her a ride. This means you’ll have to stay at the gym just as long as she does. 3. Go virtual. If you can’t find a buddy with the same gym schedule as you, opt for a virtual partner through the smartphone app Nexercise. With your cell strapped to your arm, you can pair with a slightly superior stranger and trade stats on who’s burning more calories.
